Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Engagement with People with Disabilities

Mr. John Dolan:

I thank the Senator for her question on whether there are disabled people who would like to engage in this discussion. I have no great scientific knowledge of this, but I believe there are many discussions they would like to be engaging in prior to this one. It would be on the list for some of them at some point, but like most of us, the majority would never want this to be an active discussion for them. I will draw on what I said earlier, in that the stone in their shoe is about how to get through today and tomorrow. It is like bread-and-butter issues in politics.
